Changelog

Support cookbooks that contain only metadata.json with Policyfiles.

Add named run lists to the Policyfile DSL. The feature however, is not usable until support is added to Chef Client.

Allow generator cookbooks to have arbitrary names. The argument to --generator-cookbook should be the path to the cookbook, rather than the path to the directory containing the generator cookbook.

Custom Generator cookbooks can now be configured in~/.chef/config.rb (or knife.rb ) by settingchefdk.generator_cookbook.

Added chef update command, which rebuilds Policyfile.lock.json to reflect any changes in the Policyfile.rb and updates cookbooks to the latest versions that match the dependency constraints.

Added chef export command. This command creates a directory containing all cookbooks referenced by the Policyfile.lock.json and a copy of the lock file as a data bag item. This directory can be served by Chef Zero to apply your policy to a node.
